Sylk Smoov | Drama (1991)

Uno, Dos, motherfucking tres it's time to flow
Scientifik's back, "Yo what is that?" Act like you know
If you attempt to diss the scientist, you're a sitting duck
And if you're next to the mic get out of there before you're ripped up
Or simply played like lotto, see my motto's no fronts G
And those out of control will get rolled up like a blunt see
I split the fucking philly like I split ya dome you silly
Then I take out all the black shit like I take out all the whack shit
I put in the word and put in the herb and then I roll it up
Before the second round you going down and won't get up
You flipping your lip and talking shit but you ain't saying nothin'
Prepare to get toasted like a fucking English muffin
I believe in fair play, so hey you'll get your turn too
I wasn't paying attention, oh my bad yo I burnt you
Scientifik kicking lyrics can't be taken by no other
"Are you Dope?" you motherfuckin' damn Skippy peanut butter
But these brothers want to flam damn I can't understand son
Yo sweat the other man because yo I ain't the damn one

(Hook)
I ain't the damn one
"I am not the one I got more game than Parker Brothers"
I ain't the damn one
"I am not the one I got more game than Parker Brothers

Don't try to play me like Atari sorry I never played that
Do all my shows live because my homie don't play dat
Your style is too soft you lost 'till next time
You couldn't get off if you was on a phone sex line
Don't disrespect mine, check out the next rhyme
I finished the album, you was stuck on your next line
America's most B-L-U-N-T-E-D, your lyrics is ghost that means empty to me G
You little Bee Gee, stick with John Travolta
Me being whack? picture that with a Minolta
The scientifik man plans the soul songs
You pick the wrong hand and like bam you get rolled on
You better learn that niggas burn when I get ill shit
I make a nigga look like fire marshall Bill
So you see the scientifiks, not the one to be dicked
Dope from the prefix, your album needs a remix
So won't you call my man Rhythm Nigga Joe yo
But don't you try to flam I ain't nobodies ho

If I was Let's Make a Deal G, you'd have the wrong door
If I was a building, you'd be up on the wrong floor
You get the picture, hope it hit ya 'cause I ain't the one
And if you didn't, listen kid because I'm painting one
For all you sorry saps who cannot rap you need some lessons
Come off it black, you couldn't wRap yourself some Christmas presents
You lack the essence that it takes to be a Bulldog
And if I wasn't you I wouldn't have no pull dog
But when it comes to having pull I never been a failure
Matter of fact black I'm pulling like a tractor trailer
See all the skins are moving in because I'm getting paid
But if you take away the P all I got left is AIDS
And I ain't going O-U-T L-I-K-E T-H-A-T
That's simply how it's got to be, that's how I'm living G
And if you couldn't spell I said I wasn't going out like that
And everything was right, rewind it spell it back
So who you telling black?, I'm the one you gelling black
Thinking of rebelling 'cause your album isn't selling jack
I couldn't stand what you can't understand son
But sweat the other man because yo I ain't the damn one

Scientifik | I Aint The Damn One (1991)

I did this one back in 1996 for Mercury Records. The Fugees were signed to Sony Music, but had contributed a track to an upcoming Mercury Records film soundtrack called, "When We Were Kings". The film is about an historic boxing event in 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire, Africa. It pitted the undefeated world heavyweight champion George Foreman against challenger Muhammad Ali. This remix uses samples of Muhammad Ali quotes at the intro - I did another 'Extended Mix' that used more quotes throughout. When I find the DAT I will convert & upload it :).

The key to getting this one right is initial ARRANGEMENT. 
The Radio Promotions guy at Mercury Records came to me asking my advice about a Fugees track that was getting no love at radio (as a promotional/preview copy). It was too long (just over 5 minutes) and it didn't have a proper hook - like a 'pop' radio record usually does. Sony tried to block Mercury from releasing it as a single, as The Fugees had just blown up with their breakout cover of "Killing Me Softly". Since Sony had no rights to the track, Mercury were free to use however they wanted. The only trouble was that radio wasn't in love with it in its current form.... 

I went back to the vocals. Laid them out, edited verses from  the various featured rappers, clipped into a SONG FORMAT... i.e. Verse, Bridge, Chorus, Verse, Bridge, Chorus, MIddle 8 etc. I utilised a Lauryn HIll  sung line (Juice Newton's "Angel In The Morning") as the chorus hook - copied & pasted that. The music/bassline sample that creeps in and out of the track was lifted from ABBA's "The Name of the Game". I always thought it was odd that no-one had sampled the Swedish super group before. Turns out, there was a good reason... 

ABBA members/writers, Björn Ulvaeus & Benny Andersson, flatly refuse clearance for samples, no matter who you are. In this rare case, they loved how the music was used and agreed worldwide clearance. This was a first back in 1996. It wasn't until 2005 that they allowed another ABBA sample to be used - "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" for Madonna's "Hung Up". The producer and creator of that single is also (coincidentally) a British guy - Stuart Price aka Thin White Duke, Jacques Lu Cont, Les Rythmes Digitales. 

So, here's how it turned out... Ali intro/background chant/LH singing the build "blocks on fire".. C'mon! > kick straight in with the ABBA groove; cut straight to main chorus hook - Lauryn Hill singing "Angel In The Morning" - you have to grab radio DJs & show producers ears immediately; follow with clipped raps from Wyclef Jean, Q-Tip, Lauryn Hill; then into the "Blocks on fire" sung bridge; back into the "Angel In The Morning" sung chorus; Verse 2 is spliced from raps by Pras and (saving the maddest for last) Busta Rhymes; bridge, chorus/bridge to fade. DONE! Result: #.3 on the UK Singles Chart and minor, but significant, hit in the USA. The down side for me was that I didn't get a proper 'printed' credit on the retail CD. I've seen it labelled as UK Mix, European Remix, Radio Edit etc. I was gutted at the time, but I was just a kid and I wasn't as business savvy at that stage of my career.

When I listen to it now, I realise how brutal the vocal cuts were. Some not subtle at all. The audio quality sounds a bit rough N ready/wooly. I wouldn't do it in quite the same way now. But, that's the thing of it. You do what you think is right at the time. Shout out to the tracks' original producers - Lauryn Hill & Wyclef Jean. Mix engineer - Warren Riker and Executive Producer – David Sonenberg.
